Whenever the Hari Raya period rolls by, I always think about Ramadan food like lemang, percik, ketupat, satays, kerabu and murtabak. It also motivates me to serve like a full out local fare. So instead of white rice, I wanted to try and make this ‘yellow’...

I had my birthday last May and hubster took me out to Chillis to eat. Normally, I would order the usual meat wraps or sandwiches or burgers. But that night, I thought I would try some of their more obscure dishes. So I ordered what is called the Chipotle...

I realised that my blog has been neglected greatly. (cry!) My last posting was almost a year ago. Seems like nowadays I have to schedule my time around my son’s exams in school. Just when you thought you have a bit of spare time, something always comes...

So, I guess this post could be somewhat of a product review too. I’ll admit I was drawn to the packaging of this pre-mix stuff. And I do love five-spice. I bought this one to try. Heng’s pre-packaged stuff had several types that’s used for steamed dishes,...

It is already the month of July through 2017. Where has the time gone???? We say stuff like this every year don’t we? Seems like for parents our year is scheduled more around exams and school activities for our kids and then you see that half a year has...

It’s the third month of 2017 coming to a near end. How is everyone doing and especially to mothers of Year 1 kids? How are things coming along? Haha! I remember when my son went into Year 1. First two weeks were a lot of missing stationaries and torn books,...

This dish is inspired by the rice. We went to our favourite western food restaurant and they have this dish which was simply called butter rice. Now I had many butter rice in my time but their’s was definitely different. When the dish came to our table,...

I’m just itching to make a lot of Japanese dishes lately, partly to blame were the animes I watched on home cooking. There is not really a plot twist in here and true to anime style, the scenes are always exaggerated and dramatic but the anime really have...

Last Tueday we celebrated hubster’s birthday. Now although it is tradition we have practised in our family to have ‘ang jiu mee suah’ on all birthdays, frankly that time I just didn’t feel like I had the energy nor the capacity to cook a whole mee suah...

Although throughout July of 2011 I was writing contents for my blog, I never officially announced it till August. It’s more just to have something on the blog rather than announce it and have zero content. So 1st August is the official launch of my blog....
